One of the most influential works of twentieth-century theory, Society of the Spectacle examines how authentic social relations are replaced by representations, constructing a critique of mass media, commodity fetishism, and alienation under capitalism. Debord's 221 concise theses inspired cultural theory, philosophy, and activism, providing a foundational text for the Situationist International and critics of modern society. The book refers, among others, to works by Lautréamont, Boorstin, Riesman, and Whyte.
